Reporting back on a recent purchase of photochromic glasses following guidance here:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004798381916.html
Bought the 4-lens option with black frame, used the orange mirrored lens whilst out in Girona and I found it excellent in just about all light conditions.
I used the photochromic lens for a 400 Audax at the weekend and, whilst I have nothing to compare it to given I've never used a photochromic lens before, I found it really good. Again, excellent in all light conditions, particularly moving from bright sunlight to sheltered lanes with lots of tree cover and back out again. I took them off at dusk as I felt like they weren't 100% clear and I needed every bit of light, could also have been that my eyes were tired by then. I also find that the air hitting my face/eyes helps keep me alert through the night.
